Event Details

The Cortana Analytics Process (CAP) guides you through working with data from origination through computation and presentation - the Azure Data Factory provides the orchestration mechanism for complex workloads. In this bootcamp, you’ll cover a series of modules that guide you from understanding an analytics workload, the Cortana Analytics Process, the foundations of data transfer and storage, data source documentation, storage and processing using Hadoop (HDInsight) and other techniques. You’ll also learn how to work through a real-world scenario using the Cortana Analytics tools, including the Microsoft Azure Portal, PowerShell, and Visual Studio.

Join Buck Woody from the Machine Learning and Data Science team at Microsoft for an intense, hands-on session that walks you through a representative solution using multiple products including Azure Data Catalog, Azure Data Factory, HDInsight (Hadoop) and more.
